The Pulse – improve your cardio and charge your phone

Humans can create electricity on their own and not in a weird Matrix way either. When we move, we create power that can be stored. Most of the time this comes in the form of bikes that power generators but now you can take the same concept with you on the go with The Pulse, the jump rope that doubles as a charger for all of your devices.

With most portable batteries, you plug it in to charge before you go. That’s not how Pulse works. It’s a jump rope that you power by, well, jumping rope. It’s really that simple. The energy that you create is stored in the battery and then you can use that stored energy to power your phone, laptop, whatever.

This is great as you can actually do more with your workout than just burn calories, you can keep your phone powered as well. Perfect to throw in a bag for emergency charging situations and super easy to use. If you can jump rope, you can use this. The Pulse comes in three colors and is $99.

Donyae’s love for technology is based on a need to survive our future robotic overlords. Know thy enemy as you know yourself. But since even odds are on the zombie future, she has also learned how to prepare squirrel. You can find her on Facebook until the robots – or zombies – rise up.
